Before considering a proprietary (Microsoft) filesystem like exFAT (or NTFS) for interchangeability, you should also have a look onto UDF: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Disk_Format Mostly known as a CD-RW/DVD-RW filesystem it ca be used on hard disks, too! Its specs are open and in Version 2.01 it can be read/wrote by Linux, MacOS, Windows (>Vista), NetBSD, and so on... In fact, UDF is my main filesystem for USB-Sticks since a couple of years, although I must admit I never used it on HDDs, where I usually prefer some OS-native filesystems. Greets, Manuel.
